Black Sails Monologuolympics BR1.3: Minor Characters: SEMI FINALS
1/2: Idelle vs. Oglethorpe
ldelle, to Anne, 408: "You killed a friend of mine. Her name was Charlotte... and you did it for reasons that had nothing to do with her. There were men knew that would've killed you for me. I wanted to ask them. Had the money. But Max refused. I couldn't tell then if it was... because she was afraid of you. Wouldn't have blamed her. I was. Or if it was something else. But I respected her wishes. Obeyed when she said we'd protect you despite what you'd done. Do you know why? Because despite the world reminding her every day of her life that she's undeserving of being given anything by it, that she was unworthy of what little she'd managed to take from it... despite all of that, she never believeda word of it. That woman has been fighting the whole goddamn world since the day she was born. She's a breath away from winning that fight. For whatever reason, she wants to share the spoils with you. And you'd walk away. You killed my friend. I wanted you to know that."
VS
Oglethorpe, in 410: "What's to be done with the unwanted ones? The men who do not fit, whom civilization must prune from the vine to protect its sense of itself. Every culture since earliest antiquity has survived this way, defining itself by the things it excludes. So long as there is progress, there will always be human debris in its wake, on the outside looking in. And sooner or later, one must answer the question... what becomes of them? In London, the solution is to call them criminals. To throw them in a deep, dark hole and hope it never runs over. I would argue that justice demands we do better than that. That a civilization is judged not by who it excludes, but by how it treats the excluded."
which monologue wins?
"you killed a friend of mine. i wanted you to know that."
"a civilization is judged by how it treats the excluded."
